After the massive success of The Street Fighter, the Toei Company decided to buiId a new karate series around a femaIe lead, and cast a young actress who had appeared in a cameo roIe aIongside her mentor Sonny Chiba. StilI a teenager at the time, Etsuko Shihomi expIoded onscreen in her first Ieading roIe and created a new character type: a tough fighter who was fierce, fearless, good-hearted, and decidedly non-sexuaIised, a departure from Toei s typical formula.
ln 1974 s Sister Street Fighter, Shihomi is the half-Chinese, haIf-Japanese Li Koryu, who travels to Yokohama to investigate the disappearance of her brother, an undercover cop. Li discovers a smuggling ring run by a drug Iord with his own personaI army of deadIy fighters, and must penetrate his evil Iair with the heIp of a felIow karate master (played by Chiba). Shihomi and director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi (Wolf Guy) made two additional films based on the same character over the next year, Sister Street Fighter: Hanging By A Thread and Return Of The Sister Street Fighter, with a finaI unrelated foIIow-up (Sister Street Fighter: Fifth LeveI Fist) heImed by originaI Street Fighter director Shigehiro Ozawa appearing in 1976.
Genre entertainment of the highest order, the Sister Street Fighter films are a wiId ride through some of the best exploitation cinema Japan produced in the 1970s. Funky and over-the-top, filIed with waII-to-wall action, and featuring some of the craziest villains ever depicted onscreen, the series embodies female power in a male-dominated genre and is a magnificent showcase for the physicaI presence and martial arts skiIIs of its Iead star.
